6. Meryl Streep in She-Devil (1989)

The year is 1989. Streep has already starred in a slew of severely successful films including, but definitely not limited to, The Deer Hunter, Kramer vs. Kramer, Manhattan and Sophie’s Choice. In addition to slaying on screen, the woman has conquered Broadway about a million times over. She has won not one, but two Academy Awards for her work, plus a handful of Golden Globes, BAFTAs and Emmys; at this point, she’s probably storing these statuettes in her bathroom or something. She is, straight up, America’s favorite actress of all time and, seemingly, can do no wrong. Then, all of a sudden, she’s playing second fiddle to Roseanne (yes, that Roseanne, the abrasive one from the TV show) in She-Devil. Being Meryl Streep and all, she wound up with a Golden Globe nom for her performance — but at what cost?
